[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Do you by any means overclocked your Desire? This could be a result of overclocking. Check OC settings in Quattro Controll - Performance section. Also check if the settings there are persistent after a reboot. For start set it to max 1024 and on-demand/interactive governor with a min at 250. That should work on all devices. See if the problem still persist.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Just a quick report for CJ & Team: RC2 appears to be smooth as heck. Havent had any of the issues some are reporting, I'd suggest to them a full correct wipe and reflash.

1 isssue i do have though is using mic/headphones through apps. As an example TS3 app, people can bearly hear me its so distorted, unplugging the headset makes it slightly better.

Can anyone else download TS3 or similar and test to corroborate this?
[HTC Desire S] pucksen:
Thanks for this great ROM! I really love how smooth and stable RC2 performs. Keep up the great work! :-)

However, I got back to CM nightlies for daily use, because of some remaining issues. Even tho they may be related to ICS-base, missing manufacturer-binaries or my own personal incompetence, I made a quick list:

Bluetooth Tethering

I wasn't able to tether my phone's data connection to my Moto Xoom WiFi running Team EOS Nightlies via BT. There is something funny going on in communication between the two devices and it seems like the phone is trying to use the Xoom's (non-existent) data connection.

Working as intended on CM7 tho. As I need this multiple times a week, that's a dealbreaker for me.

Vibration mode

I tried every possible combination of sound, mute and vibrate, but I did not manage to get the phone vibrate without sound. When it rings, it vibrates. When set to vibrate-only, it does nothing. Not when getting called nor when receiving texts or emails. Since I always use vibrate-only notifications, that kinda takes the sense out of using the phone ;-)

Browser User Agent behavior

Somehow, the browser always showed up desktop versions of websites. While that's awesome on tablets, and useful on occasions on a phone, I found it a bit annoying to zoom around pages all the time, with a zoom-reset everytime I click something on a page.

Camera

Yeah I know ;-) I could live with how it works at the moment, but since I already made a list...

Calendar and Picasa-Sync

I know there are fixes for that, just wanted to mention it.

Disclaimer:

This is not meant to be *****ing about this ROM or its devs or showing off how impatient I might be.

I appreciate the time and effort you put into it and I'm amazed how far it is already. I just wanted to give you a heads-up on my experience while playing around with it.

I'm certain that most of the issues will resolve over time, and I certainly will try the next version. :-)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No need...distorted (too loud) volume when using headset is known and confirmed...check several pages before, I've posted a list with the bugs confirmed till now. I was waiting several days more to update it again
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
Bluetooth tethering works fine for me, tethering from my Desire S running RC1 to my Acer Iconia a500 running thor's ICS v80. I've paired the two devices and enabled 'Bluetooth tethering' on my phone. Then I go into my tablet's settings, tap on 'Jacob's phone' and it will connect and start tethering.
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Ok thanks, this is probably a nooby Q, but when using headphones to talk over app or phone were is the mic, is it inside the play/pause button?
[HTC Desire S] Sn0opy:
Since this threads grows from hour to hour, I wasn't yet able to find something about bugged button LEDs. Mine are off all the time. Only the notification LED works for me.

Any ideas?

// one minute after posting this, I got help on IRC. I just turned auto brightnes on again and it works.
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
Turning on auto brightness works also at times sliding the brightness bar does the trick ..
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
Quick question for either cjward23 or m-deejay:

can we add a FAQ to either post one or two to prevent people from re-posting the same questions? I understand some people will ignore it and post anyway, but hopefully it will help some people get their answers sooner. (obviously thinking about them first :P )

cheers
[HTC Desire S] mtothearkus:
Bug: when i am in silent or vibration Mode and my alarm rings (using alarmdroid) the phone leaves silent mode and is loud ....
[HTC Desire S] ArcadiumNL:
Yeah you're right, I did. But I did so ever since the first ICS beta that was released, and this CPU speed was even set by default a few beta's back. But you could be right for sure. I lowered my CPU speed, lets see if it's more stable.

Thanks! :)
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
Hey guys what is the update :confused:
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Que. . What is Update?

Ans. . The act or an instance of bringing something up to date... lols :D
[HTC Desire S] jucca:
Installed yesterday, but have few issues with this ROM.

After night, all fonts have messed up, some mix of arabian and jewish fonts :)

Reboot fixed the thing.

Signal bars won't show again

When camera is started, its all black, but after first shoot, it will show what you actually trying to shoot.

Weather wont work anymore.

Internet browser wont start at all (FC) - use Firefox, works great

Viber wont start either (think its generaly ICS problem)

All in all, not bad for a beta, love you work. ;)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Is it doing the same when using standard ICS "clock/alarm" application? For me alarm works ok, rings as it should and phone remains in silent/vibrate mode. If you're using third party applications, is hard to tell if it's a problem with the ROM or with the application not being fully ICS compatible.
[HTC Desire S] pucksen:
I got this one "fixed" thanks to this post by jacobras.

I was looking for possible options in the Bluetooth options only, not in the obvious "more -> thethering". My bad, and thanks again for pointing that out!

Nevermind, stupid me again.

A bit of a workaround for this is disabling the "page overview" option. It helps not having to zoom that much, but pages still seem to be randomly showing desktop or mobile versions, where the Gingerbread browser shows mobile pages.

Sooo, since the main issue for me was bluetooth tethering, and that was my own fail, I'm back on Quattro for daily use. :-)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Seems your phone is possessed.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
And he could also immerse it in holy water...sometimes it makes miracles
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
1) Did you do a full wipe before flashing?

2) This is a known issue with the camera.

3) Do you have an internet connection and is your phone location-enabled?

See response 1)

Yes, I think this is a Viber issue atm.

Agreed.
[HTC Desire S] Wuhlifant:
Sadly my Desire S doesn't sync (or detect) my google calendars (google apps account). Is there any workaround for this?

Also the toggles do not appear with my setup.

(Full wipe and dalvik cache cleaned)

tia
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
The toggles appear by pressing on the "settings" icon in notif area (long press goes to Settings)
[HTC Desire S] Frostbeule2k:
You must replace calendar.apk and calendarProvider.apk in your /system/apps folder with the apk´s from the RC1. Then Reboot...
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
searching a couple pages back will reveal that one solution is to replace the calendar.apk with that from RC1.

Also, knowing what your toggle setup is could help in figuring out the problem.

Damn. Beat me to it.
[HTC Desire S] Zinken:
No update for almost a week, is this project cancelled? ;)

Quick question: Am I the only one with some heavy RAM-leakage? On non-sense ROMs I'm used to have 150-200 MB free RAM, this one starts on +200 but often goes down to 50 or below. is it normal?
[HTC Desire S] psxx:
This should not be called rc feels like an alpha and had experimental cam fixes..
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
It's called 'RC' and not 'stable' for a reason, dude! And maybe the Development section is called this way because there's development going on. ^^

And if you followed this thread from the beginning, you'd know why it's not called 'alpha' anymore.

There's a workaround for almost every issue posted somewhere in here. If you can't live with that, then wait until it gets 'stable', but for sure, this is not the place to flame around! ;-)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Attaboy!!

Well said.

:D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Technically RC is a release candidate which means that unless severe bugs are found, it is in a position to be released as stable. Which in this case, it isn't, because it isn't even feature-complete. So "technically" this should still be alpha.
[HTC Desire S] psxx:
Sorry dude, it have a reason why cyan 9 is called alpha and this rom isn't really more stable or rc.... This is not a flame but a buggy rom like this one should not be called rc
[HTC Desire S] bsbharath1987:
The RCs may have been called beta 10 and beta 11 . They may not qualify as RCs, because an RC, as he pointed out, means it is passed to RTM if no more bugs are found.

Although, I couldn't care less what it is called as long as I know what works and what doesn't. The devs have much more pressing things on hand :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Most of the MAJOR issues are fixed, RC1 included the camera fix. I find it silly that we are spamming this thread over the name, so please stop before someone (i'll be the first) reports.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Why are you always complaining about trivial things? The discussion may be slightly off topic but it's still somewhat relevant and it was in no way spam. Go ahead, report my post, I dare you.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Guys, can we just drop this?

It's dragged on long enough....
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Has anyone tried out the cm9 music player?

I want to switch back to rc2 just to try it out.

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Yea but I stopped using it because it drains the battery and is missing a lot of features as yet. Sticking to PlayerPro for now and perhaps forever. Can't touch PlayerPro, but it needs to be "ice cream sandwiched"
[HTC Desire S] neily74:
Does anyone else use the original HTC car dock? I have been using this ROM with it and while it works when the screen is locked the camera and unlock icons don't seem to function correctly. When you slide to the unlock icon the camera app starts and when you slide towards the unlock icon nothing happens.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Not sure if this is relevant but my friend has ics camera and video recording working well on his original HTC desire, using a Rom by sandvold

http://www.sandvold.as/

can any of the video camera be ported/used in this rom?

from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Hey,

I experience some stabilty issues. Sometimes (maybe one time per day) it just reboots.

Additionally it asks pretty often to insert the pin again, although you already have typed it in.

And no, the device isn't overclocked and runs with 998 mhz;)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I believe they've had it working for a while so my guess is that it can't be ported for certain reasons
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
I had similar issues, it turned out the cpu was running at higher speeds than were set.

Install the app "antutu tester" then go to information. Next to MIPS it should tell you the actual speed the cpu is running at.

I managed to fix it by under clocking to 768Mhz.
[HTC Desire S] Wuhlifant:
and jimmygoska, thanks, worked.

My battery bar (the long bar which goes across the width of the display) doesn't go to the very right end when my battery is fully loaded. It's stuck at approx. 75% of the width.

Can anybody reproduce this bug?
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
That has been reported a few days ago.
[HTC Desire S] askani:
I have noticed similar issues (although not quite to that extent).

One thing I will note is that clearing the "recent apps" has a positive effect on usable ram (long press home then swipe app off screen to clear - then task kill with app of your choice).
[HTC Desire S] bingobadgo:
Anyone else experiencing dropped calls on this? I installed yesterday and everything works great but whenever somebody calls me it drops after about ten seconds. This does not happen on outgoing calls.

Do you happen to have the power-saver enabled? Quatro Menu > Power Saving Settings. I had mine enabled with 'switch data to 2G when screen is off'. However, when I made or got a call, you put the phone to your ear which makes the screen go off, and then it switched network settings > call dropped.

Just disable the power-saver, it's a bit fony anyway

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

After update to RC3 from RC2 (whith calender.apk from RC1) calender is broken again. Even after clearing the calender cache. Can't get it working anymore either with calender.apk from RC1.

[update] did a cache + dalvik wipe, and reinstalled RC3. No go with the calender for me.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
It's working fine here. Just tried if if worked too after clearing data of calendar and calendar storage. Worked fine too.

Tried a restart after clearing data?
[HTC Desire S] Wuhlifant:
is a full wipe neccessary to upgrade?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Probably not. Flashing the rom usually wipes cache+dalvik for you so just flash
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
yes I did. I now see I don't even have the Calender Storage anymore under 'all applications'.
[HTC Desire S] mariotg:
great job guys, is battery life improved in rc3 update?
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Weird... But hey, this is probably the problem then!

I've attached the calendar storage apk in case you don't have a backup of it.

Try to install that as a system app, hope it works afterwards.

BTW: the file is from my TB backup.
[HTC Desire S] tanjiajin:
can't seem to flash RC3 over RC2… o.o
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
What exactly is not working? Tried with ROM manager? Or in Recovery?

Compared the Checksum?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Dude, RC3 was uploaded less than 2 hours ago (from your post)...HOW do you think someone could notice any difference in battery life? C'mon, be reasonable...
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Thanks, but how do I need to name that file. It's not in RC1, RC2 and RC3 package. I DO have CalendarProvider.apk, and the correct one too. BTW during installing RC3 through 4ext touch I saw it formats the system during installing, so I assume all those packages are replaced anyway by the ones in the RC3 zip?
[HTC Desire S] tanjiajin:
Think it was a premature download completion. Redownloaded the zip again and flashed. Working now! :)
[HTC Desire S] mariotg:
it's enough time, it is visable from battery procent !
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Yes, you have a point but think about when you flash.

Do you flash, reboot and stop using your phone?

The couple of hours after you flash is when people get the worst battery life and isn't because of this battery calibration bollocks.

Its because they are playing with there phones. Testing out new features and seeing what works and doesn't work.

So by your logic, the battery life is very poor on this build
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Don't feed the trolls :)
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
No its not!

You need at least a full charge cycle before you can tell.

And besides, everybody plays constantly with a new ROM in the first couple of hours so it is not representative of battery life!

cjward beat me to it :-)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Anyone noticed that in RC3 software buttons are not lit if brightness set on auto? If I deactivate auto brightness and put it manual, they are ok. On lock screen they are lit instantly after waking up the device but after few secs they are off.
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
I just did a full wipe and fresh-install of RC3, calender working fine now. I guess I messed something up. Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Web browsing seems to be much, much better than before. Far less time waiting for the page to render. Nice work! :D Same for apps like Facebook. Honestly, that's the only bug bear of mine for this ROM. If that's fixed, I'm well happy.

Works fine here. RC2 > RC3 upgrade.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For me they lit only if very dark...on RC2 they were lit also in places with more light. There are cases in which there is some light around but not enough to see the buttons and still they're not lit. Not much of a problem though, I've set the brightness to a minimal setting that's OK for me
[HTC Desire S] giotto89:
well done guys!
[HTC Desire S] rzabcio:
Cool new features, browsing in deed is faster.

Calendar is working well now.

But...

- multitouch is still crazy,

- voice calling is better but still painfull with headphones.

long wait!! thank u guys for the awesome work u have put in!! kudos to the virtuos team
[HTC Desire S] -Sumsy-:
Hi on rc2 there's was a option to zipeline any idea where its at this time lol can't find it.and media scan is still messed up is it a easy fix or could I just take the certain file that does the media scanning from cm9 to this so it works
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Ok. I've been curious about the volume wake and volume skip in quattro since I've made my own try on this for the cm9 rom today.

Just noticed that this solution doesn't seem to work if both options are enabled. Then the volume skip doesn't work anymore. I've had the same problem first but got it solved at the end. Pm me if you need a patch ;)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Gonna have to try this out, last ICS ROM I was on was superkids & mdj's first beta when calls weren't working :)

or did you include them in the RC3 ?
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:

I'd still recommend "lgCamera", preview works with that one...
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but is there any way to sync the contact pictures with Facebook, preferably in high quality :-)

Running great so far, although one weird thing is that whenever I install an application I get a message that the homescreen is full. Don't know if it's default behavior for ICS to place a shortcut to every app you install, seems kinda iphoneish :-)
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:

[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Could somebody post a screenshot with this feature enabled: WebOS recents window toggle ? Thank you !
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I couldn't do it because when taking screenshot (that is pressing power button) the screen disappear. Basically is the same thing as the standard "recent apps preview" when long press Home, just that the apps are listed horizontally not vertically.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
its the same as the original recents but the apps scroll horizontally instead of vertically.

Give it a try
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
I cannot give it a try because I do not own a Desire S anymore. I was just curious about it. I think they will port it to the Nexus S real soon.

I really miss this community, everything is organized and friendly around here.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
ah, i see :-) Nexus is nice too :-)
[HTC Desire S] Jiia:
I flashed RC3 over RC2 and lockscreen shortcuts are not working anymore. Seems to be a common problem but does it happen if you did a full wipe?

I also lost the camera thread, could someone tell where I can find it?
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Are you looking for preview fixed camera? There you go.
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
However, this camera works in this ROM :confused:
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Rom works really good, just a couple of things ice I've noticed.

* sometimes in the dialer the indicator that tells you which tab you're on doesn't follow

* when installing apps i get several messages that says "no more room on this homescreen" and after about 5 of them the shortcut gets created anyway.

* the fact that shortcuts are created when installing new apps, is this a bug or is it by design?

* battery usage, I came from reaper cm7 using the modified smartass kernel and i was idling around 9mhA. Using ondemand with this rom i was idling at 19mhA all night.

Just wanted to make some feedback. Keep up the good work!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
It's a setting in the Market. Open Market, press Menu - Settings and uncheck Auto-add widgets checkbox
[HTC Desire S] Troja:
Does it ever give itself an official ICS for the DesireS ?

....via my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@e2zippo The shortcuts are created in both CM9 and Quattro so i guess it's default in ICS.

@Troja If you mean official ICS from HTC, then most probably, no. They aren't giving "older" devices ICS. Our's isn't old at all (not even a year) still the classify it as old.
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Now running RC3 - Battery Bar is working fine now. And also the lockscreen shortcuts are working.

But they doesnt' fit on our device size I guess. When I use more than 3, the fourth one ist cut off. And also the custom shortcuts (when you doenst choose the predefined ones) look very ugly, although they are smaller as on the homescreen.
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
Can anyone make a screenshot of the Battery Bar to see how it looks.

Where are the Call settings i.e. show or hide your number?

[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
Anyone tried this?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
In standard Dialer/Phone app, press Menu - Settings then in Additional Settings you have Caller ID option. You can choose between Network Default, Hide or Show. You can also use #31# in front of any dialed number to temporary hide your ID (for that call only) if supported by your carrier
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
As an FYI, Beautiful Widgets is available free on GetJar at the mo.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
+1 for what @rapier said. But as far as i know, this is usually a premium service, chargeable by your network provider. So, unless your network provider allows this, you cannot hide your number (for very obvious legal implications).

I could be wrong...different countries may have different laws, but here in India, that's how it is. Do try out what @rapier has suggested, and let us know if you succeed...
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes, I'm not aware how it's in other countries, you'd better check with the operator. In Romania this is free and usable both from the phone settings or by using the code
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
^ Useable in UK as a standard option or prefixing 141 before any number will hide your number for that call.
[HTC Desire S] Durdy:
Worked for a bit, then I played with the settings and it's force closing now... :( (when you try and increase from 5mp, which it obviously can't do..)

I've tried clearing data, restarting the phone and re-installing, but it's still not working. Installing the older version then the new version on top fixes the issue :o
